Our son was born this morning at 12:20 am Monday February 11th. He is a healthy 8 lbs 8 oz (congrats to the few of you who got this right on the poll!) and 19 inches long. He has light brown hair and a cute little smile.

Mom is doing well after along hospital ordeal. We went to the hospital Saturday night at 10:30 and Katie was admitted to a room around 2 am Sunday. After some time the contractions began going away, but the doctors decided it was time to move forward so they began pumping her full of induction meds. Around 9 am the contractions started picking up again, and about 11 am she started to dilate some more. About 5 pm the doctor came and broke her water, and then things started to really pick up. Previously Katie had decided she did not want an epidural, but the pain soon convinced her to go for the nerve blocker. The epidural was prepared flawlessly, and Katie soon basked in the painless labor. Despite Katie's valiant efforts, Carter managed to avoid being born on Sunday.
Katie and baby Carter should be coming home Wednesday about noon.
